I like to eat metallic objects before bed. Usually the poison will temporarily kill me, and when I wake up in the hospital, I am fully refreshed. My wife also likes to wail on me with a 2x4 before bed to knock me out.

Hey Harley. I agree with Shelli. Thanks for your service to protect us so we can sleep. You remind me of Toby Keith's song, American Soldier. I love that song. You are our American Hero.:)

I agree with the warm bath or shower idea. the food recommendations above seem mostly out of line. but the topic is important to me as due to a break-up I'm not sleeping that well...

This is preposterous. All of these foods are fast-digesting carbohydrates, the perfect way to store fat and to slow the production of human growth hormone (HGH) to help rebuild your muscles from your long day. Not only will the spike in insulin levels cause your body to store fat, but also the need for carbohydrates at bed-time is minimal. In fact, if you are an athlete or work out at all, you need more protien, and you are about to have an 8 hour fast. If you go to all the trouble of eating small meals 3 hours apart all day, why would you want to have a 12-14 hour break in between dinner and breakfast the next day? The perfect solution is a slow digesting protein (caesin is perfect) to keep your body anabolic and fueled throughout the night as well as help rebuild your tissue damage. Low fat/sodium cottage cheese is chocked full of slow digesting caesin protein, and is an outstanding choice for your pre-bed snack. You should have about 20 grams of protein (3/4 cup cottage cheese) before you go to sleep.

For some odd reason whenever I eat a big bowl of warm soup, I get soooo sleepy. And it only happens when I drink soup.

What a load of crap! I've been eating all these things for years and believe me they do nothing to help me sleep.Tea works much better.

I have never had a problem sleeping....but I find being awake to be very difficult....I want to have energy, I eat healthy...I've even tried coffee a couple times, but it always makes me pass out fast, even sitting at the table with other people!

your wrong, I have diabets and my sugar will be to high. I am try to lose weight that won't help. When you have fibromyalgia and osteoarthritis along with lupus sometime the pain keeps you awake. sometimes you will need a sleeping medication. where you want to or not.
